Ireland is comparable in terms of price to the UK, comparable in terms of price to many parts of France.

Spain is a good bit cheaper.

Portugal is a good bit cheaper.

Italy is a good bit cheaper.

So it really does depend on where you go.

And

what your appetite for spending is.

You can spend many thousands of euro on holidays in Ireland or you can go on holidays for half nothing.

But you will be a little bit like Father Ted and Dougal in the caravan in the Stune of Ireland staring out at the lashing rain going, aren't we having fun as Father Ted, not Father Ted, what's his name?

Graham Norton.

Does his wild river dance and sings Celine Dion songs.

I mean, it really does depend on what kind of holiday you want.

But I think if you do want the kind of action-packed, fun-filled, super entertaining holiday that you get over in Spain, you're probably going to pay for more for it in Ireland.

I, as a child...

We only holidayed at home.

Yeah, same.

I think the first time I was on a plane was when I was 19.

Like nobody went on foreign holidays in the 1980s or 1970s in Ireland.

And as a result, I have a degree of post-traumatic stress disorder from the holidays that I spent in Boyle, County Rotterdam or Kilmockridge, County Watford.

I went to Lockheed Forest Park twice or three times.
